The alphanumeric keypad is used to enter both numbers and letters. When alphanu-
meric text entry is expected, the nonnumeric options are presented before the nu-
meric value of the key. For example, the number “2” key provides for entry of “A”,
“B”, and “C”. When the cursor is positioned in a display field location that expects an
alphanumeric character, the first press of the “2” key will result in the display of an
“A”. Another press (in a fairly short time) will cause a “B” to be displayed. The next
press shows a “C”, while the forth press shows a “2”.

Repeated key presses will result in cycling through the character options repeatedly.
When the operator stops pressing keys for longer than the preset timeout, the last
value is retained and the cursor moves to the next location in the field. Pressing a
different key forces acceptance of the last character for the field and moves the cur-
sor along.
